What's wrong with having the Snowbirds. They just put on a different style of show. Besides, there is Tora, Tora, Tora, Aerobatic demonstrations, static...
How many times have you seen Tora, Tora, Tora? The Snowbirds might thrill Canadians, not me. I really wonder if the WoH producers intentionally schedule for...
I've seen Tora several times. Each time it is a bit different, depending on the weather. It was especially exciting when the grass was so dry the fire trucks...
I too have seen Tora a number of times. And to feel the heat from the fires from the fence line is incredible. It reminds me of an event at Whiteman Air Force...
An air show isn't just an air show. Impromptu action makes them interesting. I wonder if the air show was filmed, and, if so, if this event was documented for...
I have gone to an air show somewhere since I was 12. The airplanes are always great. but the chance to meet and talk to the vets is the best thing about them....
Another one to add to the fun: Was at an airshow at Kansas City's Downtown Airport (something like the way Hobby is here in Houston, but no commercial aviation...
... Several years ago, I was working the Ham communications at WOH airshow when the Blue Angels were performing at Ellington. The Blue Angels asked for a...
I worked a show in 2005 with the Blue Angels, and was responsible for keeping the public out of a pretty good sized buffer zone near the runway, but outside...
In short, they are the real pros. They lost a man in practice last season, but they still do the hard stuff. Ask yourselves why. Judging from the 2-hour Blue...
I remember that show. And, it wasn't the only time this has happened. Even the T-Birds weren't happy during another show when they had to go to their "low"...
Another worry, but I doubt that this year's show will have this problem, is the weather. Many years ago, because of my work schedule, I was unable to go to the...
Then maybe we need a new venue. I wish Shoal Field was in better shape. Of course, when you’re the Blue Angels, you just need a carrier. J Would I pay $50...
Oops, I meant NW. NE could be a problem, but the landings could be brought in over Missouri City instead of points south. But, a NW wind means the planes (can...
In preparation for the Airshow, here are some of the reported frequencies that the Snowbirds have been using at past airshows: 116.000 (used last month in...
Looks like most everything used from last year is the same as this year. Airboss is 119.600, discrete is 124.500, UHF is 253.500 (EFD tower). The Snowbirds...
I have updated the WOH Airshow frequency list and uploaded it to the website. Not much change from last year. I changed the staff channel 1 to 462.550 MHz...
I received the following IPN pages several days ago and was wondering if anyone had more information on them: 09-30-2007 19:00 ... made hard crash landing at...
The HPD helicopter made all 3 news stations. It was 10 feet off the ground and experienced a malfunction causing a hard landing. I never saw the tower rescue...
On Air Boss backup (124.5), I heard a Continental flight calling Monterrey Center during the show Saturday. Sure enough, that frequency is used south of the...
The news websites don't give much info on the helo "crash". Good thing he was just off the ground when it happened. On Google Earth, looks like a cell phone...
Some more updates after spending a couple of hours near Ellington today. Snowbirds surprised me by not using 242.600 MHz. That's what they used yesterday...
Don't forget there have been several arishow accidents this year. ... From: Myles Barkman <kg5ai@...> To: HoustonScan@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
The high-angle rescue was for a suicide jumper. Dude climbed a high-tension tower and threatened to jump. South Houston VFD rolled first, then they requested...
